master chee wrote a secret manual about his mind-washing kungfu which he invented himself after being booted out from the reputated sacred kungfu institution in NUS HILL. he claimed that his kungfu manual was selling like hot shou bin or chinese pancake. but did it really sell? ah.....
the famiLEE had also came out with their version of PAP'S SECRET 101 KUNGFU MANUAL. did it sell? well, it's so hot that it's out of stock! already a 3rd round of printing is in queue!! ah.....yes, again ah! who are the kungfu crazed exponents would wanna buy such manual? famiLEE's kungfu secrets manual is more expensive than master chee but it sells better than chee's shou bin. why huh? why leh?
master chee claims that his are always out of stocks meaning he should be very rich and is something like peesailand's version of JK ROWLING with her fantasy HARRY POTTER tales.
yes! ah......again!

Book on PAP a best seller
Third print run ordered for Men In White just days after launch
By Cai Haoxiang
A NEW book on the People's Action Party (PAP) looks set to be one of the year's best sellers, with stores here reporting brisk sales and a third printing already ordered to meet demand.
An estimated 75per cent of 10,000 retail copies of Men In White were sold within the first four days of the book's launch on Tuesday, according to Marshall Cavendish International (Asia).
The publishing company's general manager, Mr Chris Newson, said yesterday that a second printing of 6,000 books had been pre-booked by distributors.
A third printing of 10,000 has now been ordered.
'We will probably run a fourth printing of a further 10,000 copies, as demand from retailers is mounting daily,' Mr Newson said. 'The book has been flying off the shelves. At Books Kinokuniya, for instance, about 1,000 copies have been snapped up.
'Men In White has been a phenomenal success and is the biggest blockbuster Singapore book since Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew's memoirs,' said store director Kenny Chan, 57.
The 692-page book chronicles the PAP's rise, fall, split and resurgence in the 55 years since it was formed in 1954.
It is written by Straits Times senior journalists Sonny Yap, Richard Lim and Leong Weng Kam, who interviewed 300 people, including leftists whose voices are not featured in existing literature on Singapore's history. They also went through 200 oral history interviews and pored over confidential documents.
The book was commissioned and published by Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) and designed and produced by Marshall Cavendish International (Asia).
Author Sonny Yap, 59, is happy about the sales: 'A lot of people who bought the book lived through the times. Hopefully, it will also be picked up by young people so they can understand the values and sacrifices of Singapore's pioneering generation.'

PKMS faction goes online
By Cai Haoxiang
THEY failed to gain control of the party premises in Eunos last week. So the faction claiming to be the rightful leaders of the opposition Singapore Malay National Organisation (PKMS) has now moved to establish a presence online.
The group set up an e-mail account and said on Wednesday it would use it as a way to serve the community.
'We can still function, regardless of whether we can operate from a building or not,' Madam Lella Mardiiiah Mohamed, 35, a member of the group, told reporters at a press conference at Hong Lim Park.
With the account, the group will be able to respond to queries and provide the Malay community with advice on family and education matters, and help the unemployed search for jobs online, she said. Madam Lella is deputy president of the group which last week tried to change the locks at the PKMS office building in Eunos.
Their attempt on Sept 3 sparked clashes with members of the group that has control of the premises. The incident led to the arrest of 21 people for rioting. Four men were also taken to hospital with injuries.
One of the injured, Mr Ramlan Mohamad, 49, was warded in intensive care with a fractured skull. He is now out of intensive care, said his twin brother Ramli Mohamad.
Both brothers, along with Madam Lella, are part of a breakaway group that has spent the past two years trying to gain control of the PKMS. Several members of this group had been suspended from the party in 2007 by the PKMS supreme council led by Mr Osman Hassan, 64.
Mr Osman's council does not recognise the breakaway group's claims to be the legitimate leaders of the party. In the wake of the clashes, the council also rebuffed a suggestion by the group represented by Madam Lella that the two sides might reconcile.
On Wednesday, she said that her group did not have the finances to mount a fresh legal challenge against Mr Osman and his council.
But it would, in the meantime, aim to continue to serve the community. Hence the initiative to start the e-mail service, she said, adding that those interested could send their queries to [email]pkmsfeedback@yahoo.com.sg[/email]

TOP 10 LOOKOUTS during RP CLAN's dinner
what to look out for during RP DINNER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this dinner event should be very interesting. there are many happenings to look out for. here are some:
1. observe whether any SDPpies who might be present
2. whether lamei would be there with original husband or pirated one.
3. see which teletubbies she would be bringing - whether is joel or carl. those are the superman's related names by the way cos she always thinks herself as some kind of "wonderwoman" without the wonder bra and the golden lasso of TRUTH of course! LOL!
4. which teletubbie kid the 1/2past6 lawyer would be carrying this time. by the way, this isn't a TAK BOLEH TAHAN protest. they do not need children to act as their defensive and protective barrier.
5. look out for the nerd, ngejay holding hand in hand his long lost father ng teck siong. will the long lost father&son team be there? to celebrate or to create a scene?
6. watch out for cute fatty edmund ng. he's still as friendly as ever. just dun understand why so many losers and cowards love to slam him.
7. would AVIATION LIM aka thinknothing aka avantas aka wayangparty aka dunno what be instigating and paying some mats yoyo kids to distribute defaming flyers?
8. would seelan and his ah neng gang be harrassing marcus aka lockiliberal during that night like last year?
9. would lockiliberal be as generous as last year to book an entire table?
10. gohmengseng should definitely be there. would most of the nsp stars turn out too? steve chia is scootering matland now. would he be back to grace the event?
these are the top 10 LOOKOUTS during that night.
would KJ be clarifying and explaining what really happen in RP like why ngejay joined & quit? why ng teck siong who claimed himself as a founding partner quit abruptly and coincidentally when he discovered his long lost son ngejay? would he be also explaining the intrusion o SDPPIES deployed by the troll lamei into RP? what was the purpose, intention or hidden motive that could hv been involved?
there are many things and explanation that need to be revealed and straightened out so that RP could finally move in a direction which is transparent, honest and look upon as without hidden agenda that could be hindering in the eyes of the voters, supporters and general peasants.
why SDP fails miserably is probably due to the clowning of chee soon juan. on one hand, he professes to be concern about peasants' welfare but on the other more sinister hand, he is trying to instigate president obama to SANCTION singapore.
how to trust chee? it's best to THRUST him than to trust him. don't u think so too?

sarongs dropped, kapala kena ketok!
Violence broke out on Thursday between rival factions of one of Singapore's opposition parties
SINGAPORE: Violence broke out on Thursday between rival factions of one of Singapore's opposition parties - the Singapore Malay National Organisation or PKMS.
PKMS is short for Pertubuhan Kebangsaan Melayu Singapura.
Five people were injured and admitted to hospital. Four have since been discharged, while one member is in intensive care. Twenty-one people were arrested for rioting.
The fighting took place outside the PKMS headquarters in Eunos between two camps - the outgoing and incoming office bearers - who are feuding over power transition.
The old guard accused a leader of the new committee of inciting violence by sending an SMS to its supporters to take over the party by force. The message had called the outgoing leaders "traitors" who allegedly used up party funds.
Osman Hassan, PKMS president (2006-2009), said: "They came and so I asked my members to straight away call the police. But I'm surprised that by the time they arrived, the police were already here. So the fight broke out in front of the police."
But the new guard said they were merely trying to change the lock to the building to prevent illegal immigrants from entering. They claimed the outgoing committee, headed by Osman, would not allow them to do so and attacked them.
Nor Lella Mohamed, PKMS deputy president (2008-2010), said: "There are two legal office bearers here. We are fully aware that their term has expired on 2 September. Some of their Supreme Council members told us that they are not having any AGM, (which) they are supposed to (do so). So if they are not having it, we take it as their term has already expired. After we had a meeting with our own Supreme Council, they decided that we should go to PKMS and sort this thing out."
Channel NewsAsia spoke to the family of the victim admitted to the intensive care unit in hospital. There was clearly some tension when the reporter mentioned Osman, suggesting there was quite a deep divide between the two sides.
Family members said the victim, Ramlan, was conscious when they met him but both his eyes were swollen shut.
This is not the first time violence has broken out between the two rival factions.
The new guard had claimed some of its members who had served on the previous committee were unlawfully terminated from their leadership positions.
Both sides had also accused each other of misappropriating party funds and violating their party's constitution.

21 arrested in PKMS fight
21 arrested in PKMS fight

AN ONGOING leadership tussle within opposition political party Singapore Malay National Organisation (PKMS) turned violent on Thursday when the two factions got into a brawl outside its office building in Eunos.
Four men had to be taken to hospital with head and arm injuries, with one of them warded in intensive care with a fractured skull. Police arrested a total of 21 people, two of them women, for rioting with dangerous weapons in relation to the incident, which happened around noon.
Those arrested, who include the four taken to hospital, are aged between 27 and 69. It is not known if those arrested were all PKMS members. Weapons such as hammers and screwdrivers were said to have been used in the fight. Anyone convicted of rioting with dangerous weapons can be jailed up to 10 years and caned.
For the last three years, PKMS has been split into two groups which have been at loggerheads with each other. The police have been called in several times in the past over previous bust-ups involving PKMS leaders. The party's leadership dispute was also brought before the Subordinate Courts.
Madam Lella Mardiiiah Mohamed, who introduced herself as the party's deputy president, said eight members of her team had gone to the PKMS premises on Thursday to change the locks. She said they had sent an e-mail message to the police as well as the current council to inform them of their plans to do so.
Thursday was supposed to be the day the term of the current council, led by president Osman Hassan, ended, she said. Madam Lella, 35, said she and her new council had been voted in at an extraordinary general meeting held last November.
But Mr Osman, 64, said he did not recognise the new team and refused to give up office. 'It's not legal for them to have called that meeting,' he said.
He also said that his council's term did not end on Thursday. It would end only when an annual general meeting is held, Mr Osman said, adding that he will 'fix internal matters' before he calls for one. Madam Lella said her group was stopped just outside the PKMS building by members of Mr Osman's council, including his deputy president Ali Asjadi, who was among those arrested.
Both sides got into an argument and a fight soon broke out. Mr Osman said the other side had started the fight and were the ones who had brought the weapons. 'Last time, I didn't want to get aggressive, but now they forced me to,' he said.
Three other men were also taken to the hospital but were discharged on the same day. Two of them, Mr Yusof Jaffar and Mr Salleh Mohamed Said, were members of Madam Lella's group, while Mr Azhar Ali was from Mr Osman's side.

it's all for one thing: POWER!
just when we thought only the chinese are crazy about power grapple, we witnessed some songkoks and sarongs started flying in the malay bersilat kungfu clan PKMS CLAN.
one young minah was voted to be the chiefy but obviously there were resentment from the orang tuah or elder folks who were keenly trying to adhere to the power and prestige of their position in the clan.
this drama reminds us about a very similar case occuring in the RP where ng ah teck who unwittingly discovered JJ was his aiya long lost son. both long lost father and son team soon began to scheme to usurp the power clutch from KJ, the chiefy of RP clan and the son of the late jedi master JBJ.
things went awry resulting ah teck and JJ being ousted. it was believed that both aiya father/son team now is scheming another plot to try and dominate jianghu or the martial arts of the political world.
very soon, RP would be holding their 2nd dinner gathering for all the heroes and heroines from the martial world.
who would be there? who would absent themselves? what colors would be revealed? would there by flying saucers, smashing bowls, sneaky chopsticks darts?
stay put to see. the drama would be coming soon!
